The techtonic plates are pulling away from each other. Magma is forced twards the sea floor via convection currents. This results in "hot vents" where an entire ecosystem is based on chemosynthetic bacteria.
No. Mid-ocean ridges mark divergent boundaries.

The age of rocks on the ocean floor increases with distance from the mid-ocean ridge. This is due to the process of seafloor spreading, where new crust is formed at the ridge and then gradually moves away as tectonic plates shift. As a result, rocks closest to the ridge are younger, while those farther away are older, providing evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.
